Our Moral Duty to Plant Trees



  • We need trees to live.
  • People and animals depend on trees for oxygen.  When we breathe in, our bodies use oxygen.  When we breathe out, we give off carbon dioxide.  Trees do just the opposite.  They take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen.
  • A mature leafy tree produces as much oxygen in a season as 10 people inhale in a year.
  • Trees help clean the air by intercepting particles and absorbing pollutants.
  • Trees help cool the Earth by shading. 
  • A windbreak of trees can lower home heating bills up to 30%.
  • Trees give off moisture.  More moisture in the air means more rain.
  • The 200,000 leaves on a healthy 100-foot tree can take 11,000 gallons of water from the soil and breathe it into the air in a single growing season. 
  • We depend on trees for wood we burn for heat.
  • We need trees for the wood to build houses.
  • We need trees to make paper.  
  • Roots of the trees underground are a natural water cleaning system.
  • Trees prevent soil erosion.
  • Trees help prevent flooding.
  • Birds build their nests in trees.
  • Animals live inside trees or build homes on their branches.
  • Trees muffle neighborhood noise.
  • Trees give us fruits and flowers
  • Some trees have medicinal value and help make medicine.
  • Trees give us things like benches, stairways, church pews, tables and chairs, picture frames, guitars, pianos, toothpaste, coffee filters, movie tickets, postage stamps, baby cribs and cradles, candy wrappers and cupcake cups.  
  • More than 5,000 things we use every day are made from trees or from their extracts.
  • Trees can increase the property value of our homes by 15% or more.
  • Trees bring out the kid in us....by letting us swing from their branches.
  • Is there anything more beautiful than a drive through a National Forest.
  • Be sure to look for the wind chimes in today's picture.

Simplify Slowly

Be not afraid of going slowly; be only afraid of standing still.” – Chinese Proverb (simplify slowly, but consistently)

gift an experience

  1. “If you want to give gifts, why not gift an experience—a nice meal, tickets to a concert, or a sunset on the beach? After all, the best, most loving gift you can give someone is your time and undivided attention.” - Joshua Fields Millburn & Ryan Nicodemus

apple pie pizza

Best Ever Apple Pie Pizza


Gotta share this recipe for Apple Pie Pizza. If you're like me and don't care to make a pie crust from scratch, well, here's the answer to presenting your guests with a yum-dill-i-ishus modern version of Gramma's Homemade Apple Pie.

1 tube (12.4 oz) refrigerated cinnamon roll dough
1 can (21 oz) apple pie filling
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 T. butter, melted
  •  Set cinnamon roll icing aside.  Separate dough into individual rolls.  Roll out each into a 4-inch circle. Arrange on a greased 12-inch pizza pan, overlapping edges.  Bake at 400 degrees for 8 minutes.
  • Spoon the apple pie filling over rolls to within 1/2 edge.  Combine the brown sugar and butter.  Sprinkle over the pie filling.  Bake 6-8 minutes longer, or until the crust is golden brown.  Cool.  Drizzle with the reserved icing. 
It's oozy-goozy good,
with or without whipped cr

GLUTINOUS SPENDING

GLUTINOUS SPENDING

Please stop talking about Black Friday. Has any one thought about excess consumerism. Or declining resources. Or corporate greed. Or media brain washing. Or  public mind conditioning. Can anyone who plans on spending money on Black Friday really say they absolutely have to buy it to help save natural resources or wildlife or open space -- that are declining at an exponentially fast rate!   Glutinous consumerism is ugly. Perhaps shoppers think only in the now and not for their future generations. Black Friday is for fools. Can you  live within the parameters of practically?

In addition to not buying on Black Friday join the moratorium on consumer spending on Nov. 26th in North America and Nov. 27th internationally.

Seeming To Do Is Not Do ,Taoist way.

Seeming To Do Is Not Doing

“Being busy does not always mean real work.
The object of all work is production or accomplishment
and to either of these ends there must be
forethought, system, planning, intelligence,
and honest purpose, as well as perspiration.
Seeming to do is not doing.”
–Thomas A. Edison
